Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
Viral fevers are usually self limiting. It takes about 7-10 days for ful recovery. You can take paracetamol 500mg for relief from fever and bodyache.
Take proper rest and drink lots of water daily. This will fasten the recovery.
If the symptoms persists, you can get yourself clinically examined and investigated.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
